Great! I really hope you guys can make it. You may be surprised with who shows up in a Heroes Only tournament. Matthias won the GenCon event with a double Giant combo!

Count me in. I will volunteer a map if you need one. Two questions:

Are Marvel heroes allowed?
Can some of the maps have no glyphs?

Glad to have you! I think I will keep Marvel out of this event, because I really think they would dominate it. I want to highlight some of the lesser used heroes.

Keep in mind that we will be using the less powerful (IMO) treasure glyphs. That being said, I think having a few maps without treasure glyphs will be a good idea.

But I gotta check my calander, make sure nothing is going on. I'll know closer to the date. Like Early Sept.

But no Awasomes? But, there are no squads, then, I will feel really bad if someone brings a Zelrig...

Always happy to meet new Scapers! Hopefully you can make it out! Rest assured that Kaemon Awesome will be in attendance. Zelrig, not so much .

Q9
Q10
Kurrok
Air Elemental x5

Boooo! Just kidding (maybe). That is a powerful army that looks like a lot of fun .

I played against that combo at GenCon. My Hydras thought they were delicious!

I would have had him if Q9 didn't crap the bed!

This looks like a fun format. Please put me and Sensei of Samurai down as possibles. We can give a confirmed answer closer to the date.

The same. I live out near Lancaster, so its really "can I pull off "studying" and driving to Philly", and sell it to my rents... (I am commuting to MU.)

Where's MU? It sounds like you're really close to PeterParkerH and SpidySox, who are planning a NHSD event on Oct 23rd in West Reading.

Put me down as a possible and I can also bring a map or three in necesssary. the format with heroes ONLY sounds interesting. I like the Red Cap environment - plenty of room, just a horrible parking situation. obtw: did you check with the PU Athletics Dept. to see if THEY had any events also scheduled for that day. Hopefully all the teams will have away games/meets. I especially like the idea of throwing rotten fruit at the winners. KEWL!

Tom, Once again I can't commit due to Xanth's football games.... wait a minute... that's not me.... I guess I can be there!

Put me down as most likely. All heroes, huh? I will really have to think this one through... maybe I can bring my Roman army... nope, got squads.... maybe my Elf archer army.... nope, got squads.... maybe my rat and.... nope, got squads. Wow, this is really hard!

I really hope you can make it John. Remember though that the rotten fruit is being reserved for those who end up in a draw, not the winners. I don't like it when people throw things at me!

I admit that I haven't checked out the local events in the area. Hopefully there won't be an issue like last time. Anyone who finds out anything regarding sporting events at the local universities please post them so we can plan accordingly.

Excellent! You are on the confirmed list for now, but you can always change that as circumstances change.

I think the heroes only format should lead to some fun builds. Many of the heroes that I would normally pass on for tournament play suddenly become quite viable.

Well unless I am mistaken (and I don't believe that I am) MU is Millersville University which just so happens to be the school where I am getting my degree from as well . MU is in Lancaster county and about a 35 min. drive to where we will be hosting our NHSD event so Aqua, feel free to check out our thread for that event, you can find it here. Although we certainly hope you can make this one!

[Johngee]

Arrgh! Gosh darn! Etc. I was afraid that it was going to be Millersville or Muhlenberg or something like that. I was hoping (slim chance, but hoping anyway) that it might be MONMOUTH University (also an "MU") which is only five minutes from MY house here in Jurzee.

Slight change to the start time everyone. Redcaps has just changed their Saturday hours and will now open at 11am instead of 12pm. This means I have bumped the start of set up to 11am and we should be rolling dice by 11:45. I figured this would help with the long commutes some of us will have on tournament day.

Also, I noticed that I never set the amount of start zone spaces. We will be playing with the standard 24 hex start zones. Feel free to run that Sahaugin Raider x 24 army you have always dreamed about.

Thanks guys.
